nice stats shows that nufc are not a one man side and that the ars struggle rely heavily on henry for goals

Very interesting stats Softie - (tho I can't imagine why Villa and Spurs are included!)

At season start it looked as though Robert was going to ignite the season - recently he's been indifferent according to reports and yet we are enjoying a purple patch. Obviously the goals are coming from everywhere and it seems we need not be too afraid of losing one or two particular players as there is quality spread around the squad. (Naturally we'll lose out if our luck is really bad and 3 or 4 top class players are injured/suspended at the same time). The jewel in the Toon Army crown is still £20m rated YKD and he has been absent for the first half of the season, during which we have finished top.

And I needn't mention the fact that we haven't played our joker yet and Marcellino is waiting in the wings...

I had to include them to give you the full Top 7 as sponsored by the meeja. I only include our stats since we are somehow top of the league despite failing to feature on the experts' lists of contenders. Presumably they will declare the Spurs game a double-or- quits fixture in the vain hope of getting us out of the top 7.
